Text

Thanks for that answer, Minister. As you said earlier, it is understandable that people in north Belfast are fearful, given the horrific events. You will be aware that protests are planned across Belfast, if not across the North, this evening. We do not know how they will develop, if at all, but you mentioned fears in our migrant community and among people of colour that the protests may turn nasty and violent. What is your message to people who are fearful of how the protests may turn out?
